“permanent and transitory” -via Duncan’s blog

The concept of ‘home’ is not a simple one, no matter where you are from. People who have lived in the same place for most of their lives have just as much difficulty explaining ‘home’ as do the children in my story. However, even though ‘home’ may not be easily defined in words, all of our stories seemed to provide a similar understanding of what ‘home’ is. It seems to be some sort of combination of the words I listed above, and perhaps other things as well. In the stories I read, it was usually a place that had an emotional, more than physical significance.
